CHAPTER 200: CHAPTER 200 THE DEVIL MAKES A COMEBACK

Yu Chen suddenly walked over with a powerful aura, forcing Zhang Miaoyan to step back two steps, "What job? I can’t get into Wansu Technology."

"Of course, you can’t get into Wansu Technology. My apartment needs a part-time cook for lunch."

"A... Auntie?" Zhang Miaoyan stared at him. How does she look like an auntie!

Seeing her wanting to get angry but not daring to, Xie Yuchen’s lips curved slightly. He turned to open the car door, his voice still cold: "The hired maid had to go back to take care of her daughter after childbirth. I’m too lazy to find another housekeeping company. Because the time is too tight, I can pay triple the outside rate."

Zhang Miaoyan hurriedly got into the front passenger seat from the other side and fastened her seatbelt. She silently calculated the salary in her mind and became a little excited as she calculated.

It was indeed very tempting. Cooking wasn’t difficult, but she’d have to frequently see him... She sneaked a few glances at him, feeling uncertain.

Yu Chen pressed the accelerator, the car drove out of the villa’s green lane. Several minutes passed without an answer from her, and his calm heart began to grow irritated.

He lazily rested one hand by the car window and said, "About three to four days a week, I’ll return to the apartment near the company for lunch. You just need to cook before I return, and then you can leave."

Zhang Miaoyan thought, if she could avoid him by timing it right, it didn’t seem so bad.

She asked, "Three to four days a week. Do you go home for lunch on the other days?" She knew his house was near Yue Xiaoyang’s home, but only roughly, and it was indeed quite far from the company.

Xie Yuchen said, "I stay at the company for half the month and eat takeout."

Zhang Miaoyan looked at him with pity like he was a pitiful animal. The distinguished general manager of a top technology company, eating takeout for most of the time?

Seeing that she was finally pitying him, Xie Yuchen said, "There’s nothing wrong with takeout. I have plenty of stomach medicine in my office."

Zhang Miaoyan felt even softer hearing this. Even if he was so bad and always looked down on her background, she couldn’t stand him abusing his stomach this way.

Furthermore, just cooking a meal could provide her with extra income, easing the pressure of her house payments.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "Is the salary paid monthly?"

Xie Yuchen tapped the steering wheel with his long fingers, "Monthly."

There was a trace of amusement in his eyes. He did indeed eat takeout most of the time, but it was special delivery from hotels, not any ordinary food boxes.

Zhang Miaoyan said, "When do I start work?"

"Tomorrow," Xie Yuchen opened the armrest box on the right, took out the keys, and handed them over, "I don’t eat onions, Chinese yams, or lamb. Everything else is fine."

Zhang Miaoyan couldn’t adjust to this sudden change. She didn’t dare to take the keys. He casually gave her the keys to his apartment, his private space. Did he not mind her coming and going freely?

Seeing that she didn’t take the keys, Xie Yuchen directly stuffed them into her hand, "I’ll send you the specific address. The lock needs to be changed. Remember to bring the key."

"Oh, okay." Zhang Miaoyan felt the keys in her hand were heavy. If he had given her the keys before, she would have been overjoyed. But now... she wouldn’t cross the line again.

At night, An Junxi watched Gu Yikun busily in the study, wondering whether to confess her parents’ difficulties to him.

If there were another way, she certainly wouldn’t want to leave him. She couldn’t do it.

She struggled for a while and was about to knock on the study door when her phone screen lit up again.

An Junxi was afraid that Gu Kuangxia contacting her would be discovered by Gu Yikun, so her phone was always on silent.

She went back to her room to answer the call. Gu Kuangxia said, "Niece-in-law, I really underestimated you. You didn’t even give face to Liang Huiyun. You indeed have the guts to be called Young Madam of the Gu Family."

An Junxi didn’t know what he was talking about, "What do you mean?"

Gu Kuangxia said, "Today Liang Huiyun personally went to invite you, but you ignored her. I see your parents aren’t that bold, yet they raised such a strong daughter like you. Not bad."

An Junxi got goosebumps all over. He knew about the incident in the hall this afternoon!

She looked around the room, suddenly feeling like a pair of eyes were watching her from every corner. An Junxi curled up in the corner of the wall, "How do you know that!"

She was genuinely scared. She initially wanted to secretly discuss it with Yikun. Where exactly was this Gu Kuangxia? Had he returned to the country? How was he surveilling her?

An Junxi’s back felt chilly. Now, she completely dismissed the thought of telling Gu Yikun. She couldn’t take the risk!

If Gu Kuangxia got wind of anything, before Yikun could make any rescue moves, she and her parents could be separated forever!

Gu Kuangxia laughed arrogantly, "I have my ways. I told you not to try anything funny. You have five days left."

There was no more sound from the other side. An Junxi sat on the floor, trembling. This used to be the place she thought was the safest, after all, it was her and Yikun’s home.

But now she didn’t dare stay any longer. Had she always been living under someone else’s surveillance?

Gu Kuangxia was truly a devil. Four years ago, he tried to kill his nephew. Four years later, he came back again!

An Junxi stood up and ran to the study, went in, and closed the door.

Gu Yikun saw her strange expression and walked over with concern, "Xi Xi, did you have a nightmare again?"

An Junxi held his arm, her eyes constantly looking out the window. It was pitch dark outside, and she felt like eyes were secretly watching.

Gu Yikun reached out to touch her cheek. It was icy cold.

He asked with concern, "Not feeling well? Do you want to call the family doctor?"

An Junxi didn’t dare to say anything, "I’m fine. I don’t want to be alone in the room. I’ll stay here with you."

Gu Yikun looked at the time, "It’s late now. You need to rest."

An Junxi shook her head, "I’m not sleepy. Yikun, I want to stay here."

"Are you sure you’re not feeling unwell?"

"I’m sure."

Gu Yikun replied to a few emails and took her back to the room, "I’ll sleep with you."

An Junxi didn’t want to leave him for a moment. Gu Yikun saw she was genuinely scared, probably from a nightmare.

They lay on the bed, and Gu Yikun held her in his arms. Her familiar delicate body had become a lot thinner.

During this period, he had been too busy. He didn’t know how long it had been since he had held her to sleep. She had been living in anxiety and hesitation, which he had neglected.

An Junxi said, "Yikun, can we go to the company tomorrow?"

Gu Yikun didn’t think much, "Feel cooped up at home?"

"Yes," An Junxi said, "I want a change of environment. You can also work normally."

"Okay."

In the morning, as soon as An Junxi got up, she went out with Gu Yikun, even bringing their breakfast to the company to eat.

Many employees hadn’t started work yet. Secretary Wang came in the earliest. Seeing the president finally came to work, she hurriedly reported the backlog of meeting arrangements to the president.

Gu Yikun first accompanied An Junxi to eat breakfast. Afterward, An Junxi stayed in the lounge to read, and he began to work.
